Part of our Things to Do with Kids in Tokyo series. Prices last checked: November 2026.
How much are teamLab tickets for kids? At both of Tokyo’s teamLab museums, children aged 4–12 cost ¥1,500 and children aged 3 and under are free. Adults pay from ¥3,800 at teamLab Planets (Toyosu) and from ¥3,400 at teamLab Borderless (Azabudai Hills), with dynamic pricing that changes by date. Tickets are for a set entry time and are sold online; teamLab Planets doesn’t sell tickets at the venue, and Borderless sells a limited number on site for ¥200 more.
Here’s how the two compare for families, from teamLab’s official pages.

Rules for families
teamLab Planets
- Supervision: children under 13 must enter with a parent or guardian aged 18 or over, with at least one adult for every three children (including free toddlers).
- Water: you walk barefoot through water that can reach knee height on adults. Dress children in clothes that can get wet, or bring a change. Free shorts are available to borrow.
- Strollers: leave them in the stroller area. Babies can go in a front carrier.
- Small children: in the koi water room, visitors with an inseam under 40 cm must be carried or in a carrier.
- Facilities: free lockers, diaper tables in the bathrooms, and a first aid room for breastfeeding or rest. There are detour routes if a child doesn’t want to go through a particular room.
- Re-entry: not allowed.
- Closing: teamLab Planets is scheduled to run until the end of 2027.
teamLab Borderless
- Supervision: elementary-age children and younger must be with an adult aged 18 or over, with at least one adult for every five children (including free toddlers).
- Strollers: must go in the luggage room; free lockers are available.
- No nursing room inside the museum, though there are two rest areas.
- No food (including sweets and gum), and no flashing shoes or glow toys.
- Re-entry: not allowed.
Which one is better for kids?
- teamLab Planets is a set route, so you can’t get lost, and toddlers love the water and soft rooms. It also has a large “Athletics Forest” area of climbing, jumping and drawing artworks. It’s best for ages 3 and up who don’t mind getting wet.
- teamLab Borderless has no map and no fixed route; artworks move between rooms. There’s no water to wade through, and it connects to Kamiyacho and Roppongi-itchome stations by underground passage, which helps on rainy days.
- Dark rooms: both have dark areas and strong lights. Some young children find this overwhelming; a carrier and a weekday visit help.
Booking tips
- Book on the official site if you might need to change plans: tickets can be moved up to three times, until two hours before your entry time (Borderless Flexible Pass: two hours before last entry). Tickets can’t be cancelled or refunded.
- Don’t buy resale tickets. teamLab Planets says resale is prohibited and resold tickets won’t be accepted.
- Check closing days. Planets closes on some Thursdays (November 5, December 3 and January 14), and Borderless on some Tuesdays (November 24 and December 8). Both have occasional artwork maintenance.
- Go early or late. Planets opens at 8:00 and closes at 22:00; Borderless opens at 8:30.
- Driving to Planets? There’s no parking at the venue; on weekdays, a same-day ticket gets you one hour of free parking at LaLaport Toyosu.

FAQ
Are toddlers free at teamLab?
Yes. Children aged 3 and under enter free at both museums, but they count towards the adult-to-child ratio.
Is there a time limit once we’re inside?
Your ticket time is your entry time, not a limit on your stay, but re-entry isn’t allowed. Plan snacks and a bathroom break before you go in, especially at Borderless, where food isn’t allowed.
Can a baby go to teamLab Planets?
Yes, in a front baby carrier. Strollers must be left outside the artworks.
